A 27-year-old woman named Claire Pepper was riding her bike through London on Monday, when she got hit by a car and PINNED underneath it.

Luckily she was wearing a helmet, which she'd bought just two days earlier, but she was stuck because the helmet apparently got lodged between the car and the road.

And as soon as THAT became clear, ten people rushed in and managed to LIFT the car onto its SIDE, so paramedics could get to her.

In the end, Claire was treated for a serious concussion, a broken collarbone, and other injuries. One of the paramedics said the group of people may have saved her life by allowing her to be treated immediately.

Claire is now recovering in the hospital, and says once she recovers, she's going to track down all ten of the Good Samaritans and say thank you. She also hopes the story will remind other cyclists to ALWAYS wear a helmet.
